Self funding costs (legal/accounting) prior to acquisition?

by a searcher from University of North Texas

2 years ago

As part of building an acquisition team you need a good lawyer and accountant (others?) so I'm wondering how you should plan for pricing for those people. Do they charge per company due diligence they do and is cost typically tied to the value of the purchase? Any other insights here as I work to understand the costs aside from the cost of the business that need to be planned for?

I'm brand new here (excited to be in this great community too) and hoping to purchase a business in the next few years via self funding.

I've worked with dozens of searchers (several on searchfunder) and offer a tiered QoE service based on the business size and analysis the buyer wants. Happy to talk specifics if interested.
